Job Level

Senior

About the role

  • Design critical electrical systems that enable key functions and ever-expanding features of Mainspring’s linear generator
  • Work on a wide variety of subsystems and components, including (in no particular order) high voltage batteries, grid-tie inverters, capacitor banks, motor drives, low and high voltage power distribution, safety controllers, and more
  • Become an expert on the linear generator electrical system. This involves the hardware designs and the system-level controls that bring the hardware to life
  • Be called upon to troubleshoot our most complex system-level problems, and be able to breakdown abstract system-level symptoms to be able to identify which subsystem is the cause of the problem
  • Regularly blur the line between operating as an electrical design engineer and a systems engineer. This will involve activities such as defining electrical system requirements, allocating requirements to subsystems, analyzing trade-offs between subsystems, and leading the team to develop robust verification plans

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and realizing complex electrical systems
  • An eagerness to work on a wide variety of assignments
  • While you will spend more of your time working at the system-level, you have the technical expertise to dig into low-level aspects of electrical designs
  • Technical leadership experience and experience leading a project team
  • Experience defining system level requirements and creating verification plans
  • A bachelor’s degree, or higher, in Electrical Engineering or related field
Benefits
  • pre-IPO stock options + benefits
